Man’s final growth rests with himself – Dr S Radhakrishnan

Religion is not doctrinal conformity or ceremonial piety, but
it is participation in the mystery of being. It is wisdom or insight into
reality.

The one doctrine by which Indian culture is best known to
the outside world is that of Tat Tvam Asi. The eternal is in one’s self. The
Real which is the in most of all things is the essence of one’s own soul. The
sage whose passions are at rest sees within himself the majesty of the great
Real.

Man is more than the sum of his appearances.

When the natural life of man comes to itself, his spiritual
being becomes manifest. Man’s final growth rests with himself.

– Dr S Radhakrishnan
